CHARACTER PLAYBOOK

Character Playbook is a digital course funded by the NFL Foundation, composed of two courses - Healthy Relationships and Understanding Mental Wellness. Together, these courses provide learners with the tools to address their mental wellbeing and interpersonal relationships on a foundational level. These learning experiences are intended to be taken sequentially, with students starting with Healthy Relationships in middle school to begin learning healthy communication and other relational skills. Understanding Mental Wellness is designed for a high school audience to explore healthy coping skills and other mental health basics. Thanks to the NFL Foundation, more than 22,000 schools and 2 million students across the United States have received free access to the Character Playbook programs.
